Family Love

This is me and my best friend in the entire world. Most people would know her as Kim, my mother. More affectionately know as Mimi. Her and I do just about everything together. Some people would say that we are more like sisters and mother and daughter. Our favorite things to do together are paint, scrap book, and travel. She is my hero and my mentor. I hope one day I can be at least half the woman that she is. BEAUTIFUL AND BRILLIANT!

Well, lets meet the guys. From left to right there is Brian, Wayne (batman, papa, daddy, etc.) and Rob. My daddy is one of a kind. I know that most of you who know him are laughing right about now, because it's true. He is the greatest. My mom always said that was made her fall in love with my dad is that he could make her laugh. Thank God he hasn't lost his luster. He is constant entertainment and always up for a barrel of laughs. Aside from that he is a very caring father that loves his family very dearly and I know he would do anything in the world for us. Love you Daddy!
Rob (27) is my big brother. By his title alone you might guess that he is also my wrestling partner. He is the reason I'm tough today. Rob and I have an apartment together and this isn't the first time. We have always been very close and I plan to keep it that way. We have a great time with whatever we do. It doesn't matter if we are wrestling, listening to music (loudly), playing tetris, or just hanging out we are always having a good time together. Love you manBrian and Rob - Guys being guys!
Now it's the baby's turn. This bundle of spunk is my younger sister Ashley (19). I chose this picture because this explains her in a nut shell. She is so much fun to be around and always bringing life to the table. Her and I haven't always been as close as we are now, but I'm grateful that we are so close. Mimi (mom) and Gurn (grandmother) always told us that we would be best friends one day. Well... they were close enough. This young adult is one reason I get up in the morning. We haven't always had it easy with each other, but I wouldn't trade her for a thing in this world! Love you blue-eyed beauty!
I'm sure she thought that I forgot about her, but I didn't. There are two people that even though they aren't blood related they are just like family. Jessica (25) and Bryant (6). These two have been a HUGE part of mine and Brian's lives for the last 5 years. Anytime we need her, Jessica was there and anytime we needed a laugh, Bryant did his job. I want them to know how much they mean to us and that we love them VERY much!

Meet the Girls

Well, let me begin by introducing you to Brian's favorites play mates. These are our little girls. Roxie (2) and Mocha (1). These are our children until we get married and have some of our own.
Roxie was our first puppy. She came from a broken home and was given to us by a friend that Brian worked with. Just like all "new parents" we had a learning experience to go through. She was a spunky little puppy and she is a doll as an adult.
Mocha is a whole other story. The reason we added her as our second addition is because Roxie was desperate for a play mate. We stumbled onto Mocha by mistake... but would never trade her for anything. Mocha, so we are told, was 1 of 2 twin puppies. Jamaica and Jamocha were their names given to the adorable twins by their previous owners. Needless to say, the "Mocha" part stayed.
These girls are our pride and joy and are the best of friends. I thank God everyday for our beautiful balls of fur.

This is a picture of Mocha (3 months) on mine and Brian's 2 year anniversary. She was so small and cute sleeping next to her booger (the green thing in the corner).

This is our girls again playing. Well, looking back on that day I think it was more Mocha playing than Roxie. Roxie has been very patient with Mocha while she has grown into a little lady. Rox definitely has a mothering nature.
We love our girl!
